Good Sunday Mornin"

Good Sunday Mornin,’ friends. Three days, this last week, I needed to be 100 miles from home by a decent time. This meant being up, fed and doing chores before 0500 hours military time. I don’t mind the hour, but I much prefer to have daylight to feed. The calves here at home are under artificial light, so that was no problem. I am caking the cows on range, so where will they be on this 850 acre piece? Of course, you cow people know this is not a problem either. My feed truck has no horn, but back-up lights are mounted on the head-ache rack. I stopped on a high spot with my head and back-up lights on and in a few minutes, I had found my cattle.

Sometimes, I hear folks say something like “I can’t witness for the Lord.” If you love the Lord, you can’t help but be a witness! This world is hungry for something substantial, much like your cows are in December. Just park on a hill and let your light shine. If God has done anything for you, tell somebody—anybody. You’ll be surprised at how many folks appreciate things like that. I know I do, and I know lots of you do too. If someone does have a problem with my loving the Lord, they just have a problem. Have yourselves a good Sunday mornin’ and a good rest of the week.

Very good message, Shortgrass. I hadn't read this yet when I answered nr's question on why the cattle were all in a circle.

You mention that you don't need a horn because the cows recognize the lights and familiarity of your pickup. My cows recognize the sound of my '97 Dodge with its Cummins engine, even when driving down the highway along with other traffic with no intention of slowing down to feed them. We should all be so in tune with our Master, as to always be ready to answer His beckoning call, hear His voice and obey Him.

You certainly get a profound message across with a short amount of
words, shortgrass.

We are truly blessed that you do this for us each Sunday morning.
What a wonderful way to start the week.

I sent this to some friends, so they could enjoy it too. Been doing
that right along. Thank you again.

I just had my wife read a little blip out of a book that our Youth Group had given to us that is along these lines. It said "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel. If necessary, use words."

"Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works..."
Another fine message gleaned from everyday happenings when working with cattle.
Thanks!
